The chess board is made from two 2mm pieces of greyboard, foiled in black—measuring 364 x 364 mm.

Type(chess)set is a limited-edition of 50 sets, with each set that comes in a foam tray with a greyboard sleeve.

“It was a really tricky production in order to get the fine detail and the counters sharp, et cetera,” Sutherland told designboom. “Plus making sure everything stood up properly, for example the Q and P had to be redrawn for stability and the ‘Kt’ ligature for knight was redrawn.”

“We added a couple of lovely quotes which I added to the info sheet in the packaging, which includes information about the moves and chess notation. There is also a small set of postcards, showing how each piece moves.”
